Once the payment is successfully completed, your booking is confirmed, and you will automatically receive a confirmation email containing all reservation details. The second payment must be completed 60 days before arrival, unless otherwise agreed with us in writing.

Cancellation Policy

If you wish to modify or cancel your reservation, please notify us by email and we will process your request promptly. Cancellation terms vary by property, so we strongly recommend reviewing the cancellation policy displayed on the property page or during the booking process.

Please note:
- All payments incur non-refundable transaction fees that will be deducted from the refunded amount.

Check-in & Check-out

The accommodation booked, is available to you from 16:00 on the Arrival Date and you check out is set by 10:00 on the Departure Date. Flexible check in and check out hours can be provided only in some occasions. Make your request and we will accept it if possible.

Guest number

The properties may only be occupied by the number of persons at the booking request. Children count as persons. Property owners or their managers have the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. The accommodation is for the exclusive use of the clients and is not to be sub-let under any circumstances.

Standards and Complaints

All our properties are regularly inspected, and we always strive for their excellent condition and high standards. If any issue arises during your stay, please inform us or the property owner immediately so we can address it as quickly as possible. We cannot be held responsible for problems that were not reported during your stay.

While we will always do our best to resolve any issue promptly, please understand that some situations require reasonable time to address.
We are not liable for failures of public utilities or services—such as electricity, water, sewage systems, or mechanical equipment—over which we have no control, but we will make every effort to arrange necessary repairs.

Please note that certain situations may occur that are beyond our control, including:
- Intermittent failures of public utilities (e.g., electricity, water supply, sewage systems).
- Malfunctions of mechanical equipment such as air-conditioning units, heaters, or pool systems.
- External disturbances related to weather conditions, such as strong winds, storms, heavy rain, extreme heat, humidity, or any inconvenience caused by natural phenomena that may affect the property or its surroundings (e.g., temporary power cuts, water pressure issues, debris around outdoor areas, pool water clarity, or limited use of outdoor spaces).
- Environmental factors such as insects, wildlife, or seasonal local conditions, which cannot be fully controlled.

While we are not liable for the above, we will do everything reasonably possible to arrange repairs or provide support when necessary. However, Hellocrete cannot accept liability for delays or discomfort resulting from events that fall outside our direct control.

Housekeeping – Pool cleaning

All properties are thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival, and towels and linens are provided. Towel/linen changes and mid-stay cleaning are not obligatory and depend on the property, the length of your stay, the number of guests, and the season. Daily housekeeping can be arranged for an additional cost.

Pools and jacuzzis are maintained by qualified personnel every few days. Routine maintenance visits may occur during your stay as required by safety and usage guidelines.

Liability

We accept no liability for any act or neglect on the part of the owners or any other person not within their employ or their control, nor for any accident, damage, loss, injury or expense, whether to person or property, which the tenants may suffer arising out of, or in any way connected with the letting. The owner and the letting manager do not accept any liability for loss of or damage to the tenants’ possessions on the owners’ property, force majeure or any other unpredictable events that couldn’t have been prevented

Damage Deposit

Some properties require a security deposit. This amount is held on your credit card before or upon arrival and is released after your departure once the property has been inspected and no damages are found. The exact amount and the terms vary by villa, so please check the property page for details.
Guests are expected to respect the property and leave it in the same condition as found. If house rules are not followed or if guests behave inappropriately, the owner reserves the right to ask them to leave the property.
